HI there all, have got a 2 year old macbook pro that just recently wont start up. Even if I know the battery is fully charged. What I have to do is remove the battery, wait a minute or so, insert back in and it will fire up. Any ideas?
Try the old two stand-by's first:
Reset PRAM, and;
Reset SMC.
If that doesn't help, call back,

Today when trying to download new songs to my Ipod touch a message popped up stating that my Ipod can not be used because I need to update the software to 10.6.3 and to go www.itunes.com. I cant find where to update my Ipod touch to the version on the website. HELP!!!
I suspect you have a Mac with OSX 10.5.8. If so see:
ios 6 and macosx 10.5 on a pre intel...: Apple Support Communities
Otherwise what OS and version do yo have?
What version of iTunes do you have? -
I just bought an IPhone 4s and plugged it into my Toshiba Windows 7 (64 bit) OS and it failed to recognize the phone. I checked in the tech community and discovered that I need to remove all the software assoicated with the phone and start over....I followed the sequence exactly...reinstalled the software and it still doesn't work. I am trying to download the IPhone 4s video to my computer and without a USB interface that works my memory capactiy will fill up fast....I've already been into the control panel....stopped and restarted the Apple service....I am stuck...can anyone offer some suggestions or knwo if there is a fix for this issue..??
Thanks,
EricI solved my own problem....I simply moved the cable to another port while moving the mouse to the USB ports on the opposite side of the computer....and the computr finally recognized the phone...I know it sounds weird but it worked...so if you are having the same problem that had trying removing all the crap you have plugged into the USB ports on your computer THEN plug in your IPhone 4s...use the cable that came with the phone and nothing else...good luck..>!!!

You are a little confused...
It is referring to iTunes version 10.7 for your Mac...
First... On your Mac...
Click on the Apple icon.. Top left in Finder...
> About this Mac > Version...what does it say? -

Iphone turned off whilst plugging it into a docking station and now wont turn on
Hi everyone.
So i plugged my Iphone into a docking station to play the radio last night and it completely turned off and now wont turn back on.
I have done the following:
12hour wall charging
Computer connected
All resets done.
Still nothing. Anyone shed any light? I'm going crazy!
ThanksConnect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. Usually takes 20 seconds of holding both buttons.

Have reinstalled ITunes correctly-after USB not recognized for new Shuffle
New Shuffle- 1st time it says USB not recognized- Apple sends me info to uninstall and re-install I-Tunes- I-Phone is still seen- try Shuffle- first message says USB port recognized- next one says something about hardware not being installed properly. Try again and am back to the original problem- USB not recognized. Of course Apple Support is now closed- any ideas?
DId you uninstall iTunes and all it's components? Or just the iTunes program? Apple Mobile Device would be the main cause more than likely. So it is important whether you uninstalled all the programs or just iTunes. If so what I would try next is putting the device into recovery mode and seeing if it detects it like that.

IPhone is not appearing in iTunes 12, USB not recognized by Windows 8.1
S.O.S
My iPhone 5s is not appearing in iTunes 12.
Windows 8.1 says "USB Not Recognized".
iPhone not appearing in iTunes 12 on iMac and MacBook Pro as well
iPhone can charge with no problem.
Try different cables and same problem nothing changed.
I had tried;
Reset and Restart iPhone.
Cleaned the charging input.
Tried in 3 different computers.
I can't perform the method like uninstall/reinstall the USB driver on my Windows because in my Windows the USB showed unrecognized instead of "Apple USB/iPhone USB" on Device Manager.
P L E A S E A D V I S EHi Since ios 7 almost everything can be dropped over your WiFi When you charge your phone if Automatically backs up to iCloud If you have problems backup to iCloud over your WiFi Then Restore iPhone back to Factory Settings Use same Apple ID Then you will get all your apps & data back. We have 2 iPhones & 3ipads & have not used a pc for over a year with them. Cheers Brian

I am using an IPod Touch 3. I get the error message USB Not Recognized. Now I have tried three different USB Cables and three different computers...... Same error message. My daughters IPod Touch 4 works perfectly with all of those USB Cables and computers, so this is not a USB problem or a computer problem. It must be something with my IPod Touch 3. Every article I go to wants me to look at stuff on the computer but how could that make sense if other IPod Devices work fine? Please. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
You need to provide more information about your network. What frequency does it use (2.4ghz or 5.0ghz), which wireless protocol (a, b, g, b/g compatibility, n), and what security are you using (WEP, WPA2, etc.)?
Please also provide more information about your iPod Touch. Which model is it, and which version of the iOS are you running on it? -

I have got an IPhone 5. It has been locking itself and not possible to run it again. I have restored it by Itunnes. But still not functioning. I have bought it from London whitecity applestore and have been using it in Turkey. Any recomandation ?
Sorry, but the warranty for the phone is only valid in the country where you bought the device, and you can't send it in, Apple does not ship internationally.
Has the phone been officially unlocked? Only the carrier can unlock an iPhone.

Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

I have got an iPhone MC605J version 6.0 soft bank iphon 4 but unable to use it in India. I am trying to use Airtel sim but the phone is showing invalid sim. So please help me out to unlock it.
No one here can help you, & Apple can't/won't help you. Fact is, there is no way to get that iPhone officially unlocked. Only Softbank can authorize the official unlocking of your phone, but they won't. Softbank does not offer official unlocking for any iPhone.
It is what it is.
